REACHING THE PLAYOFFS

The top four teams in a league make the playoffs. These four are comprised of the two division champs and two wild-card teams. Division champs are the teams that win the league divisions. The next two teams according to the tie-breaker below are the wild card teams. 

PLAYOFF BRACKET SETUP

The Head-to-Head fantasy playoffs take place during the last four and half weeks of the NBA's regular season. To view your league's playoff bracket click on the "Playoff Bracket" link on the "Scoreboard" tab. The playoffs start on Week 20 and run through the end of the NBA's regular season (4½ weeks).

PLAYOFF SEEDING AND TIEBREAKERS (Standard Leagues) 

When your league converts into playoff mode the system automatically generates a seed for each team in the league based on the regular season results. The seeds determine where the system places each team in the playoffs. The primary factors which determine seeds are:

* NOTE: Overall record is based on 

winning percentage. 

Therefore, a team that has more losses than another team might have the same winning percentage.

In the event that two or more teams have the same winning percentage at the conclusion of the regular season, and have NOT played the same number of head-to-head games between them, the following tiebreaking system determines seed:

1. Overall Record
2. Division Record
3. Coin Flip

SCORING DURING THE PLAYOFFS

Scoring during the playoffs works much the same way as during the regular season, with the object to win as many categories as possible. The big difference is that each playoff round lasts two weeks, not one week (as during the regular season). As such the Games Started Limits are increased and you get two full weeks to accumulate stats in each stat category. By winning 6 or more of the 10 categories during each playoff matchup you'll guarantee yourself a win. In the event that two teams have the same win-loss-tie record at the conclusion of their two-week playoff game, the following tie-breaking system is employed:
